IF Boltic is a Swedish sports club from the town Karlstad. The club was founded in the district of Herrhagen in Karlstad on 1 November 1946. The name Boltic was created due to the interest for British football, by adding the beginning of Bolton to the end of Celtic. Together, this makes Boltic. Originally, the club did not only play bandy, but had also sections for handball and association football. IF Boltic was for a number of years the most successful bandy team in Sweden and also one of the best in the world. IF Boltic was until 2021 the only club which had managed to become Swedish champion for both men and women the same year. IF Boltic was merged with IF Göta and formed the new club BS BolticGöta on 11 May 2000. However, the first team again played as IF Boltic from the winter of 2008–09. The club's general meeting then decided on 26 June 2014 to take back the club's old name IF Boltic. BS BolticGöta was thus history.
